Alistair Berkley was a passenger aboard the ill-fated flight Pam Am 103 that was blown up over Lockerbie. He was a valued member of Robinson College, Cambridge – where he had read Law – and his death was felt as a great loss. After he left Cambridge he spent several years teaching law at Makerere University in Uganda before returning to read for an LLM in Law and Development at the LSE. The lecture was endowed by his parents in his memory.
